Hi Unregistered,
We'll be undergoing major forum changes in the very near future. Be sure to check out the details here

DW Blaziken is banished in Smogon Tiers right? And yea, Blaziken in Ubers is too overwhelmed. Those he outspeeds, he can't kill, while they kill him in 1 hit. Those that outspeed him will also murder him. Besides, he would have that much turns to live...

I believe we have a group working on our own tiers, where we don't randomly ban everything that changes the status quo from Gen IV

For the same reasons as I've stated before, we need to think of balance for the next four years. If we do all of the favourites straight away, then we're screwed.

i think gyarados should be the next potw
i know its kinda random based on everyone going on this whole poll thing, but i would still like to see the new stuff gyarados gets in fifth gen since i just got the game a week or so ago

This argument has been said too many times. It does not matter how well a pokemon does in Ubers, only how well it does in OU. If it really is game-breaking in the OU metagame, it shall be sent to Ubers. It's your choice if you want to use Blaziken in Ubers, nobody cares.

If we go by your method, we can also do Raticate and Mightyena, no wait and hassle free.

@Part A:People will request good/OU Pokés, and who will we take a request from?
@Part B:Once Smogon gets off of Pokémon Online, then they will take a bit longer to type them up, then they will be done. So in a couple of weeks is my guess.

Then randomize the tier that people can choose from instead having a set rotation. Like I said earlier, you can't keep people from choosing their favorites, but you can influence the tier so that OU is not the exclusively chosen tier.
